peroneal nerve injury?

[bullseye]

I'd say I have fairly tight ITBs but I have no pain with obers testing. I have seen a physio about the issue and they are a little baffled as to what is causing the problem. My gut feeling is that it is coming from the short head of biceps femoris but the sports physician said it was unlikely the nerve would get entrapped here. I have had some massage to the hamstring but it is just so difficult for anyone to get into. The restriction feels very deep. I am having an ultrasound of the nerve on monday. Hopefully something will come of that.

How about numbness or tingling along anterolateral aspect of the leg ! How about muscle power of toes abduction and adduction ? Yes , the nerve can be trapped near the head of the fibula , I saw some drivers with this complaint from just resting their left leg over the car door long times espicially big cars . The point is more stress and pressure over the nerve could detriorate it , the nerve just needs chance to recover ( regenerate or rewiring if there is real problem ) , give it chance of rest for one week by :
-Stop sleeping over it
-Stop pressing it by your thumb and hand
-Stop over excerising it , because more muscle contraction means more stress
-Stop flaring -up pain and referred symptoms
-Calm down , practise some breathing
-imagrey ex. could help
-Neural Mobilization gentle of great value
-after the week you can begin some gentle bicycling
-just simple active motions are appropriate


Testing if there is weakness or not can be through testing if you can walk on toes , and if you can walk on heels ?!

That is much ideas
Best luck for you
